  • Materials testing & corrosion analysis

    Materials testing, surface analysis, and expert reports. Reliable and competent.

Independent expertise for your materials

Whether components for aviation, the automotive industry, or plant engineering—corrosion and material resistance are crucial for service life, safety, and cost-effectiveness. As a renowned testing laboratory with employees who have many years of experience, we support you with carefully conducted tests and reliable results in solving your individual questions on the subject of material suitability and use.
 

We test according to standards – or tailor-made: directly on components at your site, according to standardized methods or according to your individual requirements under practical conditions. Our expertise ranges from corrosion behavior and aging to chemical analysis – always documented, reproducible, and independent.
